Introduction Blog and Russian Art Scene

Title: Introduction Blog

Note: Wrote this blog entry after reading the introduction and first chapter of the book by Rachael Greene.

It is amazing how many people are recorded in history towards advancement in the art world. When I use the term advancement, I mean change, the advancement of people’s thoughts on how art can be formed and how it can be presented. But the problem is, everyone has his or her won interpretation for art and their won definition of art. Once some people started Internet art, others did not agree that it was art. But opened mindedness brought advancement to the technologies that display art. Being able to coordinate with engineers, computer programmer and artists, new ideals and definitions of art came to existence. My definition of art today is a person’s view of anything that makes them stop and think or be in awe of how it is created. Art is a creation, sometimes accidental creation, and sometimes a purposeful creation. But I think from the discovery of the Internet it has only widened the definition of art. The Internet has given art in all its form a greater page to be created and greater viewing audience.


Russian Art Scene
It seems to me, in a certain thought that programs as they became more sophisticated, and its capabilities are greater, then the artist won’t be using their own capabilities, but adapting to what the program can do. Never know Russia had a lot of involvement in the Internet development. Another discussion could be about if things created on the computer is art. Well to discuss that, it would be very hard because we still do not have the definition of art. But like I mentioned earlier, our own definition of art, and things that we accept as art today has changed from what they have accepted in the past because of technologies advancement.

Title: After Thought
Note: My thoughts with to this date about this entry.

I think it is interesting how at the beginning of the school year I was comfortable with trying and define the meaning of art. Now after going to lectures and discussing the topic of the definition of art, I realized that it isn’t as easy as it seems. I feel that everyone may think that they can make the ultimate definition of art, but really is it possible? And the reason it may be impossible to make the ultimate definition of art is because we continually change our thoughts of what are is, and technologies changing our definition of art.
